Still deciding where to go for your big vacay this year?

Well, we might have your answer—if you're a Fifty Shades of Grey fan, that is. The Klein Constantia wine estate—located 10 miles outside of Cape Town, South Africa—is seeing a huge influx of visitors, thanks to the mere mention of their signature Vin de Constance in the smash book trilogy.

Yes, seriously.

Now, we totally get the Fifty Shades love—we even want to take the college class about the series. But, traveling all the way to South Africa to sample a wine merely mentioned in the book? Wowzer.

To be fair, we know Christian and Ana fans aren't the only ones willing to plunk down big bucks for their beloved characters. Twilight fans made Forks, Wash., a tourist destination, thanks to its central role in the series.

That's dedication. But, we probably won't be joining the trend any time soon.
